Conciliar Sect’s False Ecumenism Betrays Christ the King
The Vatican News portal (January 21, 2026) reports that the antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) used his general audience to promote ecumenical prayers and naturalistic peace initiatives. The article states he urged faithful to pray for Christian unity during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18-25), invoking Ephesians 4:4 (“one body, one Spirit”) while decrying “a growing loss of respect for human dignity” and claiming “war has come back into fashion.” Prevost plans to preside over Vespers at St. Paul Outside the Walls on January 25 – an event that will likely include representatives of schismatic and heretical communities. This spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic betrayal of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (no salvation outside the Church).
Naturalistic “Peace” Versus the Social Kingship of Christ
The article’s emphasis on praying for “paths of justice and reconciliation” constitutes a deliberate omission of Christ’s sovereign rights over nations. Pius XI condemned such naturalism in Quas Primas, stating:
“When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.”
Prevost’s appeal to “human dignity” without reference to man’s supernatural end in God reduces Catholic doctrine to Enlightenment anthropology. The true Church has always taught that peace flows from submission to Christ’s reign, not UN-style conflict resolution. As St. Augustine declared: “There is no peace except in the heavenly Jerusalem, for the terrestrial city has only a counterfeit peace.” (De Civitate Dei XIX, 26)
Ecumenical Apostasy Disguised as Piety
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity constitutes heresy by implication. The conciliar sect speaks of Christian divisions as if they were mere organizational disagreements rather than mortal threats to salvation. St. Robert Bellarmine’s De Controversiis specifies:
“The Church is one… because the members are united in the same faith, sacraments, and government under one head.”
True Christian unity requires non-Catholics to abandon error and submit to Rome – not engage in joint prayer services. Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928) explicitly forbade Catholic participation in ecumenical gatherings:
“The Apostolic See cannot on any terms take part in their assemblies, nor is it anyway lawful for Catholics to give to such enterprises their encouragement or support.”
Theological Contradictions in “One Body” Rhetoric
The article’s citation of Ephesians 4:4 constitutes scriptural abuse. St. Paul’s letter describes the visible, hierarchical Church – not an invisible union of separated communities. The Council of Trent (Session VII, Canon 11) anathematizes those claiming all baptized Christians automatically comprise Christ’s Mystical Body. By promoting this Protestant ecclesiology, Prevost confirms his status as a manifest heretic. Canon 188 §4 of the 1917 Code automatically deprives office from clerics who publicly defect from Catholic faith – a principle upheld by Pope Pius IX in Etsi Multa against the Old Catholic schismatics.
Vespers Scandal Confirms Masonic Infiltration
The planned ecumenical Vespers at St. Paul Outside the Walls exemplifies the abomination foreseen in Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis:
“Modernists substitute for the divine reality a reality purely human, naturalizing the supernatural.”
The article fails to warn Catholics that participation in such events constitutes material cooperation with heresy. This aligns with Masonic strategy exposed in the Syllabus of Errors (1864) which condemned the idea that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Proposition 18). The conciliar sect’s obsession with interfaith dialogue fulfills St. Pius X’s warning about Modernists who “put themselves forward as reformers of the Church” while undermining her foundations.
Omission of the Only True Path to Peace
Nowhere does the article mention the consecration of nations to Christ the King – the sole solution to war. Pius XI’s institution of the Feast of Christ the King directly linked societal chaos to secular rebellion against God:
“The rebellion of individuals and states against the authority of Christ has produced deplorable consequences.”
The conciliar sect replaces the Social Reign of Christ with UN-style humanitarianism, violating the First Commandment. As St. Louis IX taught: “The first duty of the ruler is to make all he governs bow before the majesty of God.” Until nations acknowledge Christ’s kingship, all peace initiatives remain demonic parodies.
